Andrea is taking the summer off the podcast and listening parties, so this month's special guest is Ailbhe Reddy, the Irish musician, songwriter and soon to be book author.

Ailbhe has recently started a really good Substack, and is working on novel and has a new album on the way, with new music coming in September.

Myself and Ailbhe discuss CMAT's gargantuan 'Eurocountry', Carving The Stone, the new album from For Those I Love, new tracks from Sprints, Chappell Roan, Laura Groves, Nuovo Testamento and Iona Zajac.

Plus we chat the new Clipse album Let God Sort Em Out, dip into the Irish underground with C2 and Beddyminaj and discuss is there a song of the summer this year? I put forward a contender.

We chat about All Together Now Festival, and some TV and films we have watched.

Ailbhe plays the National Concert Hall in Dublin on September 20th.
